This is actually an XFree86 issue; once you know the chipset your video
card uses, check http://www.xfree86.org/ for details.

RELEASE and STABLE are two different beasts. There are details at
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/current-stable.html

You will need to synchronise your source tree as part of the upgrade;
CVSup is probably the easiest way to do this.
